Josef Tawila (Uri Gavriel) has fallen away into the valleys of his sorrows. A painful past event his crippled his life and he was floating aimlessly in his daily existence. Suddenly in walks the son of a friend whose dying wish is to listen to a ballad of their youth, the Ballad of the Weeping Spring. With zeal and new focus, Tawila works on bringing together musicians in order to bring a band together and make music one more time for his dying friend. Not as easy as it may seem as he is ridiculed on this Don Quitoxe journey. The movies themes are rediscovering dreams of the past, facing your demons, and discovering that the world around you is much brighter than you may think it is. I saw it as part of the Atlanta Jewish Film festival and feel in love with the cinematography and the portrayal of an old world view and the notion that friendship's honor is timeless.
